I'm new to posting on this forum but have gotten many great answers from reading posts. I desperately need a hose diagram/layout for a KQ 300 (1998 LT-F4WDX). Specifically, I have many (5 or so) hoses near the gas tank that are not connected. Only 1 hose is connected to the 3 way union (2 open barbs). Just purchased this machine and it is very hard to start and has a problematic idle. I think the hoses have been 'mixed" up by a prior owner.

Some specific questions:
A hose layout would be GREAT (no diagram in the Clymers Manual)
Where does the vacuum hose on the fuel shutoff connect? (I assume somewhere on the engine).
Is there anyway to distinguish a vent hose from a vacuum hose?
I'm pretty sure there are at least 2 maybe 3 vent hoses on the carb.
I don't care so much for the vent or drain hoses, my main concern is proper connection of vacuum hoses.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Thanks. That pic is in the clymers. I decided to just disassemble the carb and clean it out. Adjusted everything and it runs great. Guess there's just "alot" of vent hoses.

Thanks again.
